# EPF-Cohort-5 Week 1 Update

Greetings,

Week 1 of my journey within Ethereum Protocol Fellowship Cohort 5 has been both enlightening and productive. As I delve deeper into protocol development, here's a recap of my significant accomplishments and focus areas during this week:

### Exploring EPF WIKI

I spent load of time reading through the [epf wiki](https://epf.wiki/) and getting myself familiar with protocol developement.

notable stuffs that read this week include the following;

* [The Protocol Architecture](https://epf.wiki/#/wiki/protocol/architecture)
* [The Protocol Design Rationale](https://epf.wiki/#/wiki/protocol/design-rationale)
* [The Execution Layer](https://epf.wiki/#/wiki/EL/el-specs)
* [The Execution Client Architecture](https://epf.wiki/#/wiki/EL/el-architecture)
* [Ethereum Yellow Paper Course](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e84V1MxRlYs)

### Looking Forward to Week 2

As I embark on Week 2, I'm excited to continue building upon the groundwork laid in the previous weeks. My primary objectives include further enhancing the CLI's capabilities, refining my understanding of fuzzing techniques, and potentially starting the process of integrating fuzzing tools with Geth's codebase.
